That pink is absolutely beautiful on you. You should consider expanding your knitting color choices to include more brights. ♥️
Gorgeous ❤

She actually already has a bright pink mohair sweater 😊
Orange and pink suit you so much Inga! (and your beloved neutrals too😂) I am still in awe of your Olympic 1984 sweater- but that gorgeous hat is just the cherry on top of the cake 🧁 -super inspiring knitting!
The pink and orange silk yarns you bought are SO lovely together! They make me think about a pink and orange striped sweater! I love seeing all your acquisitions. Thanks for including us in your knitting journey!
Thank you for sharing your crafting us! You are not alone with your woollen knits during summer time. I live in Canada and I really really tried to work with my summer-ish yarns since the weather is warming up (or not!). My comfort knits continue to be made with wool yarn. So I cast-on a wool sweater a few weeks back because I missed it so much. I think I will try having mix of projects knowing that my woolly stash will not be used seasonally. Happy woolly knitting 🧶
The pink and orange pajamas and then the silk yarn in those colors are so beautiful on you! Thank you for another wonderful visit with you. How do you get so much knitting accomplished! Always a delight to watch while I knit. Thank you❤
I thought your Lillehammer sweater was amazing but the hat is even better! Wow, I love it! I also use cardboard to make pompoms 👍
Great podcast ! Love the yayarns and projects! Such beautiful sweaters! The new cufta will be wonderful!
Your hat is absolutely adorable! I hope you’ll film cross country skiing wearing the sweater and hat in the future!!
Congratulations to the winners!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The yarn from Poland is absolutely gorgeous!!! Your knits are gorgeous, Inga. 🌹
Pretty in Pink! I love your new colour choices. They really suit you. Thanks for another informative and fun episode!
Back in the 80s/90s Pingouin had the most classy baby knits, I loved them for my girls!! 😍
I loved Pinguin patterns back in the day too. I knit lots of their patterns when my kids were little.
I enjoy seeing your FO & WIPs. I’m amazed at how much you accomplish even with your work schedule. You are a very skilled knitter! ❤
Thank you so much!
I love your Olympic hat! And I also make my pom-poms using cardboard (when I do want to make one). The silk pillowcases sound lovely, and the pajamas are gorgeous. The Setesdal kofte is going to be beautiful - I love that orange!! Congratulations to the prize winners!!! Thank you for this episode!
The unicorn yarn worked out so cosy with the finull.I think this was such a beautiful way to use hand dyed yarn!
So many wonderful things packed into one podcast, Inga! 😊
😘 thank you!
So happy to see your podcast and all your beautiful knits! I love pink on you, even tho its not your favorite. The hat is amazing and will look great with your Olympic sweater. The baby knits are adorable and inspire me to do some more gift knitting too! Even tho its summer, I am already lining up fall and winter sweaters. I am not a fast knitter so starting now is okay. This afternoon in Colorado, a mountain rain storm is passing through and I pulled out my wool colorwork sweater which is cozy today even though its June! See you next time!
Thank you for the fun episode. I love the hat with pom pom. Soooo cute! ❤
How fun. Love all your projects.
Nice knits. Love the pink and orange yarn. Thanks for sharing.
Love lilac and white sweater very pretty! I use mulberry silk pillow every night and have done for couple years not but definitely not as pretty as your! Hat lovely too everything you do is brilliant! Thank you 🙏 as always! Xx 💜
Lovely projects! Thanks for sharing!
The Lillehammer Hat is AWESOME!!!!!! Everything gorgeous, as usual :)))))!!!!
You get a lot of knitting done. Beautiful work. I like hearing your yarn preferences because there's a lot of yarn out there to choose from. Thanks for posting.
Thank you! 😊
I feel so inspired of the hat you've made
Casting on Beach Tank by Jess Schreibstein using the Bamboo Pop you recommended on your last podcast. Doing twisted rib hem and the stitch definition looks great. Feels great to knit with here with our 29* temps. Enjoying your knitting adventures 😊
Love you in pink and orange and the yarn you bought was in the same colours - I think you are changing your palette 😊 The colourwork hat is fantastic especially with the huge pompon. Always look forward to your videos 💕
The striped jumper looks so good on you as does the cute silk pjs. Looks like all the colours are for you.
1:09 never mind the pillows cases... look at that view! 😍
Beautiful projects. I have the Mon tricot book with an English supplement. It has gorgeous knitting patterns!!! Happy knitting!!!!! 🐑♥️🐑♥️🐑
Will do an abby genser too, you did such a good job in your color and fiber choice...looks sooo good on you
The Abby Genser’s purpley and white colors are very complementary to your complexion. Love it!
The slk items that you you received beautuful and are well worth purchasing. Your knits are fabulous and the hat to matcb the Olympic sweater is awesome ❤😊
Thank you so much!
Thank you. I love all your knitting 🧶😊
My aunt showed me a trick with sewing in zippers to knitting! Sewing stores should have dissolvable double sided tape in 1/4” or 1/2” widths and it is a LIFESAVER! I used it on my zipper sweater and it was the best hack! Ps. Obsessed with the Rauma jacket! Omg
Absolutely love the hat to match your Olympic sweater - think it will really compete the look
I'm working on the Lochnagar Top by Littletheorem. It's made with Tussa silk tweed. I think the one they made in the light colorway is so nice. Thought I'd pass that on because of the yarn you bought. Again, I'm in awe of how much you get knit. You have to be a fast knitter. I love them all.
Hello! Love the matching hat to your sweater! ❤ You make such lovely creations.
Thank you! 😊
Inga, you looks just as good in silk as you do in wool. Thanks for this episode !
Oh thank you!
I adore your hat!!!! Such an inspiration. Normally I am not a Pom Pom person, it just makes the hst
Pingouin!!! I had a couple of these and made my kids all sorts of patterns out of it. For some really stupid reason I gave them away or sold them. They were in english. Out of all the things I got rid of over the years in downsizing, I regret these pattern books the most.
Always love your podcast Inga. ❤❤
Thank you for another lovely podcast
Great beanie and love the lilac striped jumper too.
I LOVE your lavender striped sweater! I know it’s “not your color”, buts it’s so your color. I would love to try those pillowcases!❤
You should!😁💕
The unicorn dreams one is really pretty and it ended like a beautiful sweater.
with your beautiful long hair who would ever notice that the two mohairs were different?!? Looks beautiful and perfect over the neon pink!!
I know out of print books are still covered by cooyright, but I don't know how that applies to knitting patterns. Also, the purple and white sweater is adorable. So springy and cute!
Du er så god! Veldig inspirerende å følge deg, masse flotte prosjekter. Nydelig at du når så langt ut med så mange følgere. Takk for strikkegleden som du deler. Ønsker deg gode dager 🥰
Love your silk PJ Love their products ❤
Inga, you don’t have to put makeup to look gorgeous. As we say in French, « Tu es belle au naturel ». ❤
Thank you😘
41:35 Thank you Inga for all your inspiring ideas and knitting
I ❤ your hat!!!! Like I’m obsessed 😍
Hi Inga, your color work looks really neat. Can you talk about how to make your color work neat (meaning not uneven)? Doesn't look like you use wooden needles. Thanks.❤
Having the button at the top of the baby kicker suit is so the baby doesn’t get his fragile neck skin chaffed by or caught in the zip. So the button serves an important function
love the hat as much as the sweater 😍🙌
hi inga! i'm a brand new viewer, started watching your videos yesterday haha but i'm already so in love with the way you format these, and your voice is so relaxing! i had a question about the dream knits kal, can crochet projects count as a dream knit to enter into the kal? i'm a beginner knitter so i'd rather start a dream crochet project instead of a knit project, so i was just curious :) much love!
Yes definetely, all crafts are welcome despite the mislesding name hehe😘
I love your Amigurumi so cute. I was thinking you need bags to separate the pieces.
You may need your cardigan if you go to the Fforde music festival from July5-9th, with some events outside. But it maybe sunny and warm, and will you finish it in time?
You are such an inspiration!
Tusen takk for en koselig strikkestund 🥰
And the olympic hat with that huge pompom is soooo....ooohhh..just like the sweater...😊😊😊
Hi! Another option for the baby bunting outfit would be to knit a button
Is my iPad showing the colours off, or did you knit yourself a sweater with BLUE indie dyed yarn? 🤭🙃😱🫣🤗 Looks great on you!
The pink looks lovely on you Inga and so it is the stripped jumper i just love the shade of lilac blue 💙 🥹 congratulations to the winners and I am always so entertained by all your ongoing proyects
Beautiful Inga 💕💕
Oh that fabulous hat!!
Your Amy slipover and Abby genser are beautiful and suit you so well👌
I absolutely adore that hat
Hey Inga! A potentially silly question about washing your knits. I recently moved to the UK from the US, and noticed that washing machines have a wool cycle (we don't have this in the US). Do you know if it is safe to wash non superwash wool hand knits on this cycle without risk of felting? I'm asking because you mention washing wooly knits on a wool cycle. Thanks!
I havent washed in the uk but i wash my non superwash knits in my machines wool cycle at 30 C with special silk/wool detergent and its not been a problem🥰 try with an item your not to precious about first though;)
Another fun episode Inga! Your white and lavender sweater is wonderfully cuddly looking! ClaudiaSJI
25:55 A suggestion on the baby outfit-you may want to put in the zipper upside down (so that it opens from the bottom first). That is the most convenient for the mama when checking baby’s nappy. (And I agree, the bright colours suit you, especially the pink!)
Thats so clever😱 but i already put it in🥺 next one!
thank you again for this wonderful podcast episode. May I ask you, what the name of the yarn store in Poznan is? I'll be there in July...
Fastryga😁
I recently discovered your channel and I'm hoping you can answer a question for me. I do not know my style of knitting. I know how I was taught in American schools in the 1970's, but have not knit that way since. I knit the way my mother taught me and she always said she taught herself from an old Norwegian knitting book. Having watched one of your videos I would like to see a closer view of how you insert your needles to work the stitches. Both American and Continental knitting insert the needle into the front of the stitch with the only difference is which hand holds the yarn. I insert my needle under the support needle into the back of the stitch, holding my yarn in my left hand. Is that how you knit?
I have to close up videos on my channel for both knitting and purling if you want to have a look🥰
Beautiful silk items ❤
Glad you like them!
Hello Inga this pink pijama suit you so pretty. Emy slipover pulover is very nice done,I bought this pattern is well. I have also Nutiden yarn and kid silk mohair, and I'm not to sure which size of needles I can use.Can you tell me please about size of needles you used to this pulover ❤
I used the same as is recomended in the pattern, 3 mm i think it was
@Knittingtraditions Did you used 3mm needles to knitted with Nutiden and silk mohair
I greet you cordially from Poznań ❤
Tack för ännu ett trevligt avsnitt! Behöver du hjälp med det svenska mönstret så hör av dig! 👍🏻
Totally unrelated to knitting but my grandparents are all from Norway… are you familiar with a town or place called Stene? I’m just curious, it’s been hard for me to locate. I know very little Norsk
I am not it might be smaller then a registered city, do you know what region?
@@knittingtraditions I’m told it could be Karmøy, Aurland or Sognefjord. But I didn’t think of that.. an unregistered city! I imagine it’s a small farming community maybe because it’s been so difficult to find. Thank you 🙏🏼 My grandfather changed the spelling when he migrated Steine.
I was so sad I went to purchase the Amy Pullover and I couldn’t simply buy the pattern I had to buy yarn too but I already have yarn for the project. Too bad, I wish they’d change that.
I think you could buy the book with yarn for a pair of socks in it, that wouold be cheaper at least😁
@knittingtraditions ya I need to find a USA supplier for the book maybe. I dye Yarn for my etsy shop so I don't tend to buy too much yarn outside. I was thinking maybe I should save up and just buy Yarn for a different project like one of KutovaKikas new sweaters.
13:08 soooo pretty 🤩
Come back soon!!! ❤️
Hi, can you tell me what is the name of the yarn shop in Poznań? I am from Poland and we suffer from a lack of good yarn shops where we can buy natural fibers yarns. There are festivals and internet but you have to feel the yarn:) so I am constantly looking for new shops. I live in Warsaw and can you belive it there is knly one quite expensive and very little shop. But I travel to Poznań from tjme to time. And I must say I am addicted to your videos! Thank you!
They sadly closed a few years ago, but i went to a really lovely one in wroclaw if you ever go there, dont remember the name but it came up on google maps when i was there
@@knittingtraditions oh, thank you. That is really sad that they closed the shop in Poznań. Yes, I know that one in Wrocław, it is called Między drutami, means "in between needles". It is relatevely new, I hope it will stay for longer. One of my dream travels would be visit Norway with your beautiful nature and knitting traditions:):)
Hello …for me it’s whatever makes me happy at the moment
Hi Inga! If ever you need help with those pingouin patterns I could translate them from French to English for you
Thats so sweet of you😍 thank you, so far the swedish is working out ok🤭
@@knittingtraditions don't hesitate for this one or future one, it would be my pleasure
Белые ночи это класс! 👍
¨Takk for en fin episode.
❤️🇨🇦❤️
Sorry, have to to this in swedish… Vad gör du med allt du stickar? Finns något att köpa? Min fru är så avundsjuk på allt du gör ❤
Jeg bruker det😁 kanskje en dag blir det utsalg
🤩👍👍👍🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Dear Inga, how do you use your eye mask? What are you doing with your hair? Aren’t they disturbing you because you are lying on them… I’m loosing my eye mask, so I’m not using it 😩
I dont get distribed by them they are very soft, somtimes the eyemask fall off if i wake up due to the øight i just put it back on🥰
А почему вы учились в Польше, а не в Норвегии? Там не дорогое обучение?
It is but its a nice way to experience other parts of the world so alot of people study abroad, the study places in norway are limited and doesnt meet the demand needed
Thank you so much for the book!!! I will message you by instagram😍
🎉🎉🎉 oh my gosh, I was so excited to see my name pop up as a winner 🎉🎉🎉 I sent you a message on instagram but to be honest I’m not entirely sure on how to use that app 😂
